All Sections on M60M63 (Now M60) Sale Eastern and Northenden By-pass, and Sharston By-pass (J2/J7)The construction of the section of the M62 Lancashire-Yorkshire Motorway between Worsley and Whitefield had formed, in effect, part of the proposed Manchester Outer Ring Road, as a north easterly extension of the Stretford Eccles By-pass. Progress around the southern and eastern parts of the periphery of the conurbation was, however, much slower, with programming largely influenced by financial restraints.

M60. Stretford Eccles By-pass (formerly M62/M63) and A6144(M) Carrington SpurAlthough the completion of the M6 was a priority, the Lancashire County Council had given early attention to the needs of the other parts of the County where there were serious traffic problems. The 1949 Road Plan had identified the western sector of a proposed Manchester Outer Ring Road as one of the Express Routes to be constructed as a motorway, to bypass Stretford and Eccles and to serve the large Trafford Park industrial area.

M60. Stockport East-West By-pass (formerly M63)By September 1974, the completion of Sale Eastern and Northenden By-pass, together with Sharston By-pass, had extended the M63 as far as Cheadle Heath. The need for its continuation, therefore, by the early construction of the of the 2½ mile long Stockport East-West By-pass, became increasingly important, not only as part of the Manchester Outer Ring Road but also as a means of relieving the A560, within the town.

M60. Portwood to Denton (formerly M66)The 4 mile Portwood to Denton section of the Manchester Outer Ring Road, was the penultimate length to be constructed.
The firm of Parkman, Consulting Engineers, was appointed by the Department of Transport to undertake the design, and subsequent supervision of the construction.
Public Consultation into the proposals was held in February 1977. The only alternative put forward had been assessed previously, when it had been found that it did not have many of the advantages of the scheme under consideration.

Length:
4 Miles / 6.44 KM

M60. Denton to MiddletonIn 1976 the firm of L G Mouchel & Partners, Consulting Engineers, was appointed to design the scheme for the long-awaited final section of the Manchester Outer Ring Road. Between December 1978 and August 1980 a Public Consultation exercise was carried out. Although a line had been protected by the local authorities in the area since the 1960's, several local variations were also submitted for consideration.

M60 Middleton Link (formerly part of M66) (J19 to J18)Route 9 in the Road Plan for Lancashire 1949 was described as 'tapping the industrial area of East Lancashire north of Manchester'. It was intended to replace the A56 as far as the northern termination of the proposed Bury By-pass, it would follow the existing A56 Trunk Road to Edenfield, and then the A580 corridor to its junction with Route 8 near Whalley. Haslingden would be by-passed. Burnley and Blackburn traffic would connect with the Route at Edenfield and Haslingden respectively.

M60. Eccles to Middleton Link (formerly part of M62)During the 1930's the need for a fast road route across the Pennines had been the subject of much discussion between the highway authorities in Lancashire and Yorkshire. It was eventually agreed that it would be an extension of the East Lancashire Road, but little positive action was taken before the War, except for the reservation of land for the future construction of an all-purpose road, then known as the Yorkshire Branch Road.
